Middleton Bothy

Near Blairgowrie, Perthshire

Middleton Bothy provides bijou studio accommodation that is ideal for a honeymoon or simply for a relaxing holiday in beautiful countryside. However, the accommodation has certainly been refurbished with romance in mind.

Inside, the Bothy has a very relaxed, welcoming feel to it and several original features have been retained, such as the unusual lancet windows. The living area is dominated by the beautiful draped double bed that just begs to be slept in. The TV, on a swivel arm from the wall, can be seen equally well from both the bed and the sofa.

The comfortable seating is by the warming open fire over which, when the bothy doubtless used to house an entire family, the soup would be stirred in a large pot. You could do that too, if you wished, or take the simpler option and make use of the modern galley kitchen.

The kitchen is compact and well organised, making food preparation simple. Having it tucked away round the corner means that if you simply can’t be bothered washing up before settling down for the evening, all the dirty dishes are nicely out of the way. A shower room completes the accommodation.

Outside, the bothy has its own adjacent parking and a small garden with a gravelled area (with furniture) from which to enjoy the lovely south-facing views. In short, Middleton Bothy is a very well conceived little house in an absolutely lovely setting.

Guest Comments

'A lovely comfortable hideaway. Our winter break was made all the more special by the open fire and cosy warm room. Lovely walks right from the door.'

'Really lovely stay. After a long day’s golf it was so lovely to relax in front of the log fire with our dog. All in all a great get-away - we will return.'

'Seven years ago we came here and wrote in the book that we would be back and we’ve finally made it! Beautiful location for a relaxing break, so many beautiful places within easy reach.'

Wharmby party

'A wonderful relaxing long weekend in your Bothy with everything we needed to keep us happy.'

Irvine party

'We have had a fantastic weekend enjoying nice walks in the surrounding countryside. The Bothy was really cosy with the fire and we wouldn't think twice about coming back.'

Smith party

'We have had a wonderful week here in the Bothy. It has become home-from-home and we looked forward to returning every evening after a day in Scotland’s beautiful countryside.'

There is plenty of scope for excellent walking in the area; nearby Kirriemuir (all facilities) gives access to the beautiful Angus Glens, Prosen and Clova, or you can walk the Cateran Trail.

The quiet country roads round about provide plenty of opportunities for cycling, and there are golf courses at Alyth (3 miles) and Kirriemuir, as well as the prestigious Rosemount courses at Blairgowrie. Fishing is available on a number of lochs and rivers in the area.

Places to see include the waterfall at Reekie Linn, just a few minutes from the cottage, while historical sites such as Glamis Castle, Scone Palace, Balmoral, Blair Castle and Captain Scott's survey ship Discovery in Dundee are all within an easy drive. Rather further away, but still easily accessible for a day trip, are the beautiful lochs Tummel and Rannoch. Wildlife enthusiasts may wish to visit the RSPB reserve at Kinordy, or see the ospreys on the Loch of the Lowes near Dunkeld.

In fact you are very much at the centre of things here, almost equidistant between Pitlochry, on the Great North Road to Aviemore and the Cairngorms, and the coast. The Cairngorms offer a host of activities, with a particular emphasis on the local wildlife. On the coast, there is a wonderful beach at Lunan Bay near Montrose, and if the surrounding golf courses are not already enough, Carnoustie itself is within an easy drive. There is also a riding establishment at Kirkmichael, if you prefer to take in the lovely local scenery on four legs rather than two.

Please note: while we make every effort to be as accurate as possible, the actual position of the cottage indicated on the map above and the proximity of the amenities in the Local Info section cannot be guaranteed to be precise and should be used as a guide only.

The heating costs in this property would have cost too much to keep warm. The owner advised us that using the water heater would be expensive, as other folk had complained. She suggested we boiled a kettle for any hot water we needed!! The cottage had no insulation and there were draughts everywhere. The bags of logs cost £5 & we found that there were 7 logs per bag! The week we spent at The Bothy was very cold but this should be taken into consideration when renting out the property. We left 2 days before the end of our week. Lovely to be home and WARM. We would appreciate your comments on this review.

Lovely little property. Out in the county , excellent location for walking, yet near and very helpful neighbours. Just about everything you could think of in cottage. Had a great week. Tourist information leaflets and maps an absolute treasure trove as nearly all tourist info sites have closed. Took awhile to read through and sort out reading meter, electrcity meters log store, recycling etc.

Beautiful property in a fantastic, unspoiled corner of Scotland.Everything you need and nothing you don't in the property.The area is a fantastic base for cycling on the quiet country lanes.It's our third visit. It won't be our last!

Lovely, well equipped and cosy cottage. Perfect for a get away from it all break. The two bedrooms are comfortable and airy. A great living room with stays toasty warm with the wood burning stove - we had it on almost the whole time. Great views down the valley towards the River Tay. A little bit of a shame that quite a lot of forestry work has gone on but still a beautiful vista. Forestry work limits some of the walks, but there’s still a good hike up the farm tracks.

I'd definitely recommend Unique Cottages if you're looking for a nice place to stay in Scotland. The selection of cottages was excellent, prices fair and overall service about as good as you could hope for.
